The Song in My Heart ~ In My Heart There Rings a Melody

In My Heart There Rings a Melody

I have a song that Jesus gave me;
It was sent from heaven above.
There never was a sweeter melody;
‘Tis a melody of love.

I love the Christ who died on Calvary,
For He washed my sins away.
He put within my heart a melody,
And I know it’s there to stay.

‘Twill be my endless theme in glory;
With the angels I will sing.
‘Twill be a song with glorious harmony
When the courts of heaven ring.

In my heart there rings a melody,
There rings a melody with heavens harmony.
In my heart there rings a melody of love.


This short song puts so well the attitude we as Christians should have. Jesus Christ came to earth to die and take away our sins. That is something to sing about! He has given us a song to sing with joy and gusto. This song reminds us of God’s love for us and tells others of the love God has for them as well. I often sing this song when my heart is downcast. The bouncy tune and wonderful words instantly turn the grey clouds to sunshine and my frown to a smile.

Happy Singing!

The Song in My Heart

I love to sing! You don’t have to know me for very long to figure that out. :) Whether it’s with or without music, by myself or with a group, I love to sing. Most of the time I just burst out singing whatever song comes to mind first. However, there are times when I purposefully choose a song to change my heart and attitude about something, or to calm fears or worries. With the next few posts (I’m not sure how many there will be :)), I would like to share with you the songs that have had, and continue to have, an affect on my life.

Saturday Psalm ~ 5-16-09

May Your lovingkindnesses also come to me, O Lord,
Your salvation according to Your word;
So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me,
For I trust in Your word.
Psalm 119: 41-42

Mother, a Gift from God

Mother, a Gift from God
Words by J. Paul Williams

A mother is a gift from God,
Her voice is music to the ears.
A mother is a gift from God,
She gently wipes away each tear.
She takes the time for girls and boys,
She makes the sacrifice to bring her children joy.

God is working through her to teach us how to live,
God is working through her to show us how to give.
Teaching us to walk by faith,
Keeping our feet on solid ground,
God is working though her, love is her finest crown.

We can see God’s gift of grace in the way that she forgives,
We can see God’s gift of love in the way that she lives.

God is working through her to teach us how to live,
God is working through her to show us how to give.
Teaching us to walk by faith,
Keeping our feet on solid ground,
God is working though her, love is her finest crown.

God is working through her, love is her finest crown!


Happy Mother’s Day!

Saturday Psalm ~ 5-9-09

Give me understanding, that I may observe Your law
And keep it with all my heart.

Saturday Psalm ~ 5-2-09

I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches.
I will meditate on Your precepts
And regard Your ways.
I shall delight in Your statutes;
I shall not forget Your word.
Psalm 119: 14-16
